Workflow

1. Call cutmaster_conform_timeline with the timeline file path and media path
2. Report import results: timeline name, clip count, online/offline status
3. If offline clips remain, offer to run cutmaster_relink_offline_clips with a different path
4. Run cutmaster_verify_timeline_media for final verification
5. Report: "Conform complete — X/Y clips online"

If Clips Are Offline

Ask the user for the correct media path, then:

1. Call cutmaster_relink_offline_clips with the new path
2. Re-verify with cutmaster_verify_timeline_media
3. Repeat until all clips are online or user accepts the state
